Resident Artists Vicki Bennett, Joan Berner, Danielle Burke, and Karen Donde share a passion and personal commitment to practicing and teaching fiber arts, and have been selected through a competitive process to start our program. These artists offer a range of skills and expertise including weaving, felting, dyeing, eco-printing, garment design, and more.

Over the next year, our resident artists will be offering a dynamic selection of classes and workshops to help you cultivate and grow your own creative practice.
